Drive Alive Dash

The Garland Youth Council will host a 5K to raise awareness about teens driving safely and responsibly. The ?Drive Alive Dash? is schedule for Saturday, April 22, 2017 in the Downtown Garland Square, 8 to 11 a.m.

The ?Drive Alive Dash? will kick off with a 5K run that will start and end downtown. Teens and their families are invited to participate. Online registration is $15 and can be done at GarlandYouthCouncil.org. Participants that register by April 1 are guaranteed a T-shirt. On-site registration will also be available at the full price of $15 for all ages.

The first 200 people to finish will receive a finisher medal.

After the run, join the Garland Youth Council and ?Teens in the Driver Seat? to learn more about safe driving for teens. Learn about the top five behaviors that put teen drivers and their passengers at a higher risk for being injured or killed in a car crash. Parents and teens also can take a pledge not to text and drive, and record a video message urging others to take the same pledge.
